The Data set of State Number of Electoral Votes is

California→ 55

Answer 2

The difference is 45.

The modal number of the electoral votes is 5 because it appears the most.

The range of the electoral votes is 55 - 5 = 50 (Highest minus the lowest).

The difference between the two is found by subtracting them.
50 - 5 = 45
